“More than that, Bebe, I’m sure this child has the same blood as you. Perhaps the power you felt belonged to this child.”
“
My blood?”
“I’m sure you expected it just by looking at him
”
I stood still and looked straight at the child. It felt really weird the more I looked at him.
“I told you I’d find him
 the source of your pain.”
“That’s
 that kid?”
He nodded and looked at the child hiding behind him.
“But it’s really strange. Harris is so quiet even though she usually says she doesn’t care.”
“What? I don’t say that!”
Harris, who had remained quiet the whole time, roared.
“That’s how you reply. Then, let’s do it again.”
“What are you doing?”
“To check if you’re really my daughter or not.”
In an instant, Harris’s face turned pale.
“That’s
”
“It’s over soon, so there’s nothing to worry about.. It won’t hurt much.”
“No! Oh, I don’t feel good today. I was supposed to be the main character today, but then everyone forgot about me. That’s why I don’t like it.”
Then she tried to get as far away from the Grand Duke as possible.
“Harris.”
“What? I hate it!”
“
If you insist on not doing it, I might throw you out of here.”
Only then did Harris stop. Then she glared at the Grand Duke with an angry look on her face.
“Are you threatening me?”
“Yes, it’s a threat. So if you don’t want to be treated like that, come on.”
At that moment, Harris’s eyes moved. She looked around for a long time, as if she was looking for a solution, but no one helped.
Even the nobles, who met eye contact with Harris, were busy humming and pretending not to know.
Finally, Harris bit her lips tightly and nodded as if she had given up.
“All right. You can do it. I’ll do it.”
It was unexpected.
The Grand Duke also nodded as if he found it surprising.
“That’s great.”
However, Harris, who had just been confident, suddenly touched her head.
“Oh
 all of a sudden
”
“What’s wrong?”
A-All of a sudden
 Oh, I’m so dizzy
”
Harris, whose eyes had just been wide open, fell slowly to the side. Lexit, who was next to Harris the whole time, supported her body as if surprised.
“Harris?”
“Ah
 I’m so dizzy
”
Then Harris closed her eyes. Only Lexit started to make a fuss when the awkwardness started.
“Oh, come on! Get a doctor! She’s down!”
A step later, the nobles began making a fuss.
“Oh goodness, a doctor
”
“Let’s move Lady Harris to her room.”
“What are you all doing? Hurry up and move! Hurry!”
But the Grand Duke did not.
“Even if she goes, I still have to check if she’s really my daughter.”
“Father! That’s too much!”
“What’s wrong with it? I don’t think it makes sense to leave without checking. And Lexit, I think you’re suspicious to a certain extent
 about Harris’s existence.”
“I don’t doubt
 Harris is the youngest daughter my mother gave birth to so that’s enough for today! I can’t watch it anymore.”
The Grand Duke nodded silently at Lexit’s angry words.
“Tell Harris, even though she’s pretending to faint even now, that she can’t go on like this forever, so it’d be better to step back on your own.”
That was the end. Harris’s maid, who entered the room, hugged Harris before she knew it.
Harris left with the maid hugging her and Lexit followed. Thanks to that, the atmosphere of the meeting room worsened.
“You all have to leave now. This is the end of today’s meeting.”
“Oh
 what are you going to do with him?”
One of the nobles, who stepped down one by one, looked at the child holding the Grand Duke’s hand.
“Don’t worry about it. I’ll take care of it.”
Trying to add something more, they shut up and went out with a helpless expression.
Once everyone left, all that was left was the Grand Duke, the child, Allen, myself, Cecilia and a few knights.
“Now, I think it’s time to talk.”
“
”
“What’s your name?”
But the child didn’t say anything to the Grand Duke’s question. He just looked at me, so I tilted my head at the child.
“Who are you?”
“Who are you
? Why do you look the same as me
? I thought my brother was dead
”
Finally, a voice came out of the child’s mouth, and I only blinked at the identical voice.
